Group Number
A combination of Address Book numbers that are stored in Address Book for Broadcasting.
HTTP (Web Server)
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is used to transmit the data between a web server and a web browser. The
Brother print server is equipped with a built-in web server that allows you to monitor its status or change some of
its configuration settings using a web browser.
HTTPS
HTTPS (HTTP over SSL/TLS) is the version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) that uses SSL/TLS so
that web content is transferred and displayed securely.
IEEE 802.1x
IEEE 802.1x is a networking authentication standard used to connect to a wired or wireless LAN. It restricts
connections which are not authentic and only users authenticated by a central authority are allowed to be
connected.
Internet Fax
Internet Fax (I-Fax) allows you to send and receive fax documents using the Internet as the transport
mechanism.
Before using this feature, configure the necessary machine's settings using the machine's control panel.
IP Address
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a series of numbers that identifies each device connected to a network. An
IP address consists of four numbers separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 255.
Example: In a small network, you would normally change the final number.
192.168.1.1
192.168.1.2
192.168.1.3
How the IP address is assigned to your print server:
If you have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server in your network, the print server will automatically obtain its IP
address from that server.
On smaller networks, the DHCP server may also be the Router.
If you do not have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server, the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol will
automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255.
IPP
The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP Version 1.0) allows you to print documents directly to any accessible machine
via the Internet.
